Another Update

I haven't written in a while but that's mainly because I haven't done any ZWOWs so there's not much point to just record calories burned in the classes I'm going to.

Still attending classes. Back to zumba and tramp.  But as of this week no more boxing :( There's pilates in its place though.

Haven't been exercising as vigorously this month but it's the last day of August and I think I'll start ZWOWs again in September...tomorrow!

Here are the stats from my last few classes.

22/8 - I did boxing...but it wasn't a proper boxing as they threw in pilates as well.  Burned 253 cals in 41.59 mins
23/8 - Tramp/cardio - only did 30.13mins as we had to move the tramps from the old studio to the new one but I burned 246 calories.
27/8 - back to zumba and burned 251 cals in 49.21mins
29/8 - pilates for 42.20 and burned....nothing. It didn't record! Damn. But don't think there's any point in doing it for pilates anyway.

Also it's just over 4 weeks since my last check in so thought I better do one.

On July 29 I was:
Chest: 81.3cm
Waist: 68.5cm
Hips: 85.5cm
Thigh: 54cm
Weight: 57.5kg (approx - don't have digital scales)


Today I'm:
Chest: 81cm
Waist: 68.5cm
Hips: 85.2cm
Thigh: 54.5cm
Weight: 57kg


This is great! For someone that wasn't exercising as intensely this month I've been able to maintain it all.  Eating has been quite terrible too.

Very pleased!

Update

So haven't done any ZWOWs again this week, just been doing my normal classes. Only two this week both tramp classes due to a public holiday on Wednesday.

On Monday in 45.14 minutes I burned 301 calories and Thursday in 43.11 minutes I burned 293 calories.

Also just did a prone hold for 1 min 3 secs 5 milliseconds. I think a little longer than last time...yay! Getting there slowly.

It's kinda nice to have a break but feel like I'm slacking off a bit. Just have to get the motivation to do some more.

Oopsie!

So I haven't written in this for a week now.  Possibly because I haven't done any ZWOWs nor have I been recording my calories correctly.

I had a break over the weekend and didn't do any exercise! It is nice to scale it back a little.  This week I have just been going to classes.  On Monday I decided to the tramp class where in 39.44 mins I burned 231 calories.  Have decided to alternate between zumba and tramp...even though I do like tramp class more now.

Although I wore my HRM at boxing class last night I forgot to start it!  It was a bloody hard work out. I was a bit worried because at first I was paired with Katie (the PT) and when you're with her you don't have a break, but luckily someone arrived later than me so I could be paired with them. My inner thighs were so sore today prob due to the jump lunges we did and the squats we held.  It was weird though as when class finished I got cramps in my thighs...maybe because I didn't stretch enough after.

Tonight was tramp class #2 for the week.  Getting better at some of the core stuff, slowly getting stronger. In 45.37mins I burned 306 calories.  We did more cardio tonight, but with the pilates section I struggled because of the sore thighs...and now I'm worse! But it's a good sore.

Might get back into the ZWOWs on the weekend. Was a bit hard core about it in July, but now that I'm a lot fitter I'd like to try and maintain now rather than lose cms...and if I do great and if not, no problems.

Forgetful

Oops forgot to write after boxing last night...but not much point when the HRM didn't work properly!  It was pretty hardcore (as usual) but finding that my recovery is a lot quicker and I'm trying to push myself harder.

Muscles were sore tonight doing the tramp/cardio etc.  Didn't wear the HRM again...as I now can't find my watch...oopsie!  It's somewhere around here.  It was great though, as my ass is so sore from the pilates and I think I'll be in pain tomorrow.

Feeling great, people keep commenting which I'm not used to but it's nice people notice.  A lady thought I'd lost 10kg (!!) wtf? Told her that it was only 3kg lol.  It's not losing weight it's called losing cm!!  It's amazing, just losing a few cms and I have dropped a dress size.

Occasionally I feel like I'm a little obsessive over it...perhaps because I'm trying to record everything but then on the other hand I'm not...because I still eat crap! (Like today - 2 little lamingtons, biscuit with cream, coffee and fizzy guava drink).  It's a bit of a weird feeling.

I guess the weird thing is that I reached my goal weight and it was kinda like now what?  I think the hardest part now is maintaining it and trying to tone up a little.  Need to push myself harder as I need to develop core strength and arm strength.

Anyway, enough babbling bullshit time for my yummy dinner...spinach pie!
